THE FREEWHEELIN' BOB DYLAN

 THE FREEWHEELIN' BOB DYLAN is the second studio album by Bob Dylan,
released on May 27, 1963 by Columbia Records.
Whereas his self-titled debut album BOB DYLAN had contained only two original songs,
FREEWHEELIN' represented the beginning of Dylan's writing contemporary words to traditional melodies.
Eleven of the thirteen songs on the album are Dylan's original compositions.
The album opens with "Blowin' in the Wind", which became an anthem of the 1960s,
and an international hit for folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary soon after the release of FREEWHEELIN'.

    Below are the songbooks of the album. They were copyrighted in 1963 by Warner Bros. Inc, renewed by Special Rider Music in 1991. It is hard to understand why the songbook was published 33 years after the release of such a major album, and in Japan only!

    These songbooks must not be confused with the compilation having the same title.

    They include all the songs of the album: Blowin' In The Wind, Girl From The North Country, Masters Of War, Down The Highway, Bob Dylan's Blues, A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall, Don't Think Twice, It's All Right, Bob Dylan's Dream, Oxford Town, Talking World War III Blues, Corrina, Corrina, Honey, Just Allow Me One More Chance and I Shall Be Free.
